How to claim: All I had to do was use the contact form to inquire about their Multiples Discount Program.

The outcome: They sent me $8 in coupons for their baby foods and cereals a short while later.

Other Multiple Births Discounts

Babies R Us

They offer a 10% discount when you buy two of the same items in certain categories, like strollers and carseats. This can save over $30 on some of their really nice items.

Buy Buy Baby

Similar to Babies R Us, you can get a 10% discount when buying two of the same item.

Various Companies

Others offer discounts on a store-by-store basis. Research your local Stride Rite, Osh Kosh or other children’s store to see what they offer.

For instance, my locally owned Stride Rite offered me 50% off one pair of shoes when I bought two of the same kind.

Since my twins are over 1 year old and don’t use formula, we didn’t qualify for all the programs. Many companies do have programs, though, and since formula can cost a fortune, it’s worth contacting them. Enfamil, Similac and Carnation all have programs.

Tuition

Preschools and private grade and high schools typically offer discounts when you have more than one child enrolled. Having twins and other multiples maximizes the offer, as it applies every year.

Since my son is only two years older than my girls, we’ll be able to leverage this one. Right now, we can save $1,900 per year in tuition at our local private school.
